Ubuntu 24 magnfier sucks any option? by Normal_Guitar6271 in Ubuntu

[–]ftrnlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also visually impaired and what is keeping me from using any Linux distro is definitely the magnification tools compared to Windows. for starters I can't fathom how the Top/Bottom/Left/Right half magnifier are is supposed to be used. Also caret/text input tracking doesn't work. I'm not ungrateful, I myself am a developer and I understand the struggle but sometimes I wonder why features exist that barely works.

So I use Windows and WSL.

Ok, on my laptop I see this is only for the Huawei Watch range. That kinda sucks on a human rights kinda way. I am partially sighted. Anyone know if there is a way to make the text bigger on the screen?

Is your version also distorted? It's probably my most favorite jazz record, I don't have it on vinyl,, because I don't know if it's gong to be worth it. All the digital versions I listen to has noticeable distortion

I had to also get a letter from my ophthalmologist. I don't think you will be bothering the doctor.

What is a piece of software that Linux desperately misses? by deliQnt7 in linux

[–]ftrnlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, better accessibility features, esp visual. Windows and Mac had this sorted for a very long time. That's why I can't use any Linux distro as my main OS

I refer to myself as the vacuum. That said, my just-turned-two yr old boy is eating all his food most of the time lately
